“Our two weeks in Japan was impeccably organised, our hotels were very comfortable, and the BA flights from London arrived early in both directions, a bonus. When moving between overnight accommodation our luggage was usually transported separately in a very efficient manner. In Japan we travelled by a combination of coach, trains (including a bullet train Journey) and buses. We visited Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, Osaka enjoyed numerous temples, and the trip’s highlight for me, walked part of the Nakasendo Path to Magome.”

Our itineraries

We plan our itineraries well in advance to give you the best possible experience. Closer to the time, or even on the day, we may need to adjust the order of activities or swap walking days around, especially if the weather calls for it. Rest assured, any changes are made with your enjoyment and safety in mind.

Tailoring for special diets

Please check at the time of booking whether your dietary requirements can be met.

Managing your membership & bookings online

Making changes to your booking

12 weeks prior to departure

14 weeks prior to departure

For our holidays in Europe and worldwide, single supplements do apply — this is because many hotels charge based on room occupancy. That said, we work hard to keep these costs as low as possible. Please note supplements for groups may vary. If you’d like help finding a suitable single room, our friendly Sales & Support team is here to assist.

Special requests

If you have any special requests, whether it’s something to make your stay more comfortable or a specific need during your holiday, please let us know at the time of booking. Our Sales & Support team will liaise with the relevant teams to do everything we can to ensure you’re well looked after.

Need to switch to a different holiday or date? We’ll do our best to help, subject to availability. Please send your request in writing before your final balance is due. You can change your booking to the same holiday on a different date or to another holiday of equal value once.

If your change involves a new date or location, we’ll recalculate the cost based on current prices. Please note that previously applied promotions (except the Welcome Home code) can’t be carried over. Changes are subject to:

• A £40 admin fee per person

• Any extra costs incurred by us or our suppliers

If you request changes after your final balance is due, or if we can’t accommodate your request and you decide not to go ahead, it will be treated as a cancellation (see ‘Cancelling Your Booking’ on the next page for details).

Travel Insurance

Travel insurance is not provided by HF Holidays. HF Holidays strongly recommends that all customers obtain comprehensive travel insurance to cover medical expenses, cancellations, delays, personal property, rescue, repatriation, all altitudes included within your itinerary and all programmed activities you take part in during your holiday, or other risks that travel insurance is designed to protect against. It is a condition of booking that all customers resident in the United Kingdom obtain comprehensive travel insurance for all overseas holidays booked with HF. It is also a condition of booking that all customers resident outside the United Kingdom (who are not UK citizens) obtain comprehensive travel insurance for all HF Holidays arrangements, whether taking place in the UK or overseas. Customers who choose to travel without adequate insurance do so entirely at their own risk. HF Holidays shall not be liable for costs or losses arising from circumstances that would ordinarily be covered by appropriate travel insurance. We may require you to provide proof of adequate insurance cover either before or during your holiday.

Your financial protection

We provide full financial protection for our package holidays which don’t include flights, by way of a bond held by ABTOT (The Association of Bonded Travel Organisers Trust Limited), membership number 5008, 69 Leadenhall Street, London, EC3A 2BG, 020 7065 5311, membership@abtot.com. ABTOT provides financial protection under The Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 for HF Holidays Ltd, and in the event of our insolvency, protection is provided for nonflight packages.

Please note that bookings made outside the UK are only protected by ABTOT when purchased directly with HF Holidays Ltd, company number IP05713R.

Changes to travelling to Europe from the UK

A new entry & exit system (EES) From October 2025, a new Entry/ Exit System (EES) replaced passport stamping when entering the EU. You’ll be asked to provide a photo and fingerprints at a kiosk. You don’t need to apply for anything before you travel. These changes are designed to make travel safer and more efficient but may lead to delays at the border as the new system is phased in.

A European Travel Information & Authorisation System While the date has not yet been confirmed by the EU, in 2026, you’ll need to apply online for ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System), a quick and simple travel authorisation, similar to the US ESTA. It will cost 20 Euro and be valid for three years. There’s no fee for over 70s, but you will still need to apply. See gov.uk/guidance/eu-entryexit-system for more information, and our team is here to help if you need support with the process.
